| Spent a couple hours putting 24 controls (envelopes with puzzle pieces) out in the woods. Back at home, the kids arrived for the birthday party. David gave them a powerpoint "training" for the orienteering activity. Teams were to divide up the controls so that they could all be retrieved; the walkie-talkie communication was fun but not necessary. Everyone seemed to have a good time, and a few more kids are sitting ducks for us O recruiters. As a party favor, we signed them all up for NEOC.
Later we went to see "Happy Feet", which I totally loved. Especially having seen "March of the Penguins." |

| Been awfully busy lately, and haven't exercised. Spent the day in Washington DC again today. Just a little running in the airport and subway stations...
But tomorrow I get to go the woods, to set controls for David's walkie-talkie orienteering birthday party. 6 teams, 6 2-way radios, 6 backup cell phones, 180 puzzle pieces scattered at 24 controls. Teams communicate so that they efficiently find all the controls - but only one team needs to visit teach control to get the puzzle pieces. Puzzles tell the combination for the lock to the chest... |
